]]>This year, the Freecoast Festival is designed to showcase the wonderful community that has been created on the Freecoast. What better way to do that than to have the Freecoast’s very own James Davis highlighted as the Keynote speaker of the festival!

For the last year James has worked with BigFish Learning Cooperative in Dover, NH, as a mentor to young people who have, with their parents, developed a state-free education plan to pursue their own dreams. James will take the time to review some of the highs and lows of self-directed communities. He will also share some of what he’s learned about how important liberty for teens can be. I got a chance to talk with James a bit about what to expect from his speech, what motivates him, and why his family is thrilled to have landed on the Freecoast.

Molly: You’re the headline speaker at Freecoast Festival this year. What do you plan to talk about?

James: I plan to talk about a growing movement of people who are extending the application of the ideas of liberty to young people. Since I started paying attention to it, the national conversation about education has always had a tone of frustration and inevitability. From No Child Left Behind to Common Core, the public just seems fed up. But it doesn’t have to bethat way. Behind the scenes, there are a lot of people trying a lot of different things, to some very interesting results. I hope to talk about my experience with some of those new efforts, as well as some ideas for new things we’ll try in the future.

Molly: Where does your passion and motivation on this topic come from?

James: I’m motivated by a number of things. My wife Taylor and I met while working at summer camp, and we were both certified to be public school teachers. I never wound up teaching afterward, but Taylor did, and we’d frequently talk about how working with kids at school never felt the same as working with them at camp. With all of the academic expectations, it’s hard to convey to kids that you care for them unconditionally. I began to reflect on my own childhood, and realized that the adults who really made a difference in my life didn’t care if I was good at sports, or good in school, or popular. They just wanted me to be kind to others and love myself. They made a huge difference in my life, and I suppose I just want to pass that same feeling to as many young people as I can.

Molly: Who has been down this road before you? Heroes, mentors, predecessors?

James: There have been so many people who have tried interesting things in this space! The first book I read on this subject was “Instead of Education,” by John Holt. It truly blew my mind – this idea that not only can kids learn without the meticulous efforts of grown-ups, that they might actually learn better without our interference. From there I found the School Sucks Project – a podcast started by Brett Veinotte right here in New Hampshire – and he turned me on to a number of other excellent resources.

In more modern times, I’ve been inspired by working with people from the Hudson Valley Sudbury School, the Philly Free School, and more recently with the organizations in the Liberated Learners Network. There are no shortage of people who are attempting to rewrite the rules in terms of how we work with young people, you just have to look for them.

Molly: How can you best sum up your vision?

James: Our current vision is to create a place where teens can get together and work on projects that are important to them. We hope to create a vibrant community where adults serve as mentors and guides rather than rule-makers and enforcers. We believe that teens are capable of way more than they are currently given credit for, and we hope to remind them of their awesome capabilities. Essentially, we hope to help them figure out where they want to go, and then help them connect the dots between where they are now and where they hope to be.

Molly: What does the Freecoast mean to you?

James: The Freecoast has been one of the best things that has ever happened to our family! When we started down this path 10 years ago, we never imagined that we would find a whole community of people who were treating their children with the respect that we believed they deserved. Our kids now have a great core group of friends to hang out with, and we can be a part of creating a brighter future for them as a member of an incredible community. Parenting in an unusual way can be daunting, especially when you’re surrounded by people that don’t get you. There’s really no substitute for spending time with people and knowing that they’re not secretly questioning everything you do. Instead we support one another, care for one another, and just generally have a great time. We wouldn’t trade the Freecoast for anywhere in the world.

James has been an inspiration to many of us on the Freecoast and we know his speech will be inspiring for you as well! Grab your tickets today and don’t miss the chance to hear directly from James! We’ll see you there!

]]>Here is an argument you might hear about fair wages for workers, usually made by a certain kind of tough sounding conservative. It is in response to a common observation made by progressives and socialists, that CEOs often have an enormous income compared to the least or average paid worker in their company. The conservative will respond by going on about how much the CEO risked, and how many long hours and weekends the CEO spent to get the thing off the ground. Often enough, the CEO is the hardest worker on the job, as they have the most to gain financially and as a matter of self worth. The CEO deserves that money.

This sounds like a nice defense of free market capitalism. It is just hilarious that it is loosely based on the labor theory of value, which is basically the foundation of socialist economic theory. This is roughly the idea that the value of a product is based on the amount of “socially necessary” labor that went into producing it. Socialists argue that because workers toil away for hours while the bosses sit upstairs and smoke their cigars, each worker is entitled to a lot more of the revenue of the firm than the boss (if indeed the boss deserves any of it). The conservative sometimes argues that the leftist has no idea how much the boss really works, and that the boss is clearly entitled to so much more because of it. But in making such an argument, they have already accepted the labor theory of value as a premise.

In reality, people wield different levels of economic potential for the same amount of effort. It is very likely true that CEOs tend to work a lot more than the people they employ. But as the leftists point out, the difference in income can be a thousandfold. It is a little silly to argue that anyone could possibly work a thousand times harder than an average full time employee. What actually justifies their income are the uniqueness of their talent and the value of the thing being produced. This is in line with the subjective theory of value. This theory is usually used by economists these days, and can be used by pro-market people to make a sort of moral argument (at least, when they are not using the labor-theory argument above).

Truth be told, though, the question of what somebody “deserves”, in the mind of a conservative or libertarian, is a bit fuzzy. It is not really a principled concept. I would argue that it is really a combination of instincts derived from both the labor theory of value and the subjective theory of value. If there is a person who is an exceptionally hard worker but has very common skills and produces something of low market value, I think the instincts of most pro-market people would tell them that that person “deserves” to make a decent living, even if the market fails to supply him with it. The worker has done everything in their power, after all, and nobody can say this person is lazy. However, the subjective theory of value still plays a role here, as pro-market people probably would not tend to say this person “deserves” to be rich. On the other hand, somebody who strikes a gold vein in their back yard will be handsomely rewarded by the market, and I suspect nobody of any political persuasion would consider that this person “deserves” to be rich, even if libertarians and conservatives agree they are entitled to it.

On this episode of The Freecast, surveillance in Manchester gets a challenge in court, a NH inventor saves lives with mailboxes, NH legislators still can’t do math, and Len screams his little face off.

]]>After hosting this year’s beer tasting event at PorcFest, I am once again reminded of the power of bringing people together with a common interest. Standing there around a single picnic table sharing drinks and conversation with people I might not otherwise have met was a world-opening experience.

The variety of beverages at the event was impressive; there were beers in the top 250 on Beer Advocate, including Tree House Very Green and Alchemist Focal Banger, alongside homebrews, fruity liqueurs, and local NH beers from Henniker, Deciduous, and Moat Mountain. We rounded out the experience by purchasing $1 snacks, including chips and pre-cut vegetables, from the wagon of a young entrepreneur. One participant remarked, “these are the only vegetables I’ve eaten all week!”

The event was posted from 5-7, but we kept the party going as the sun began to set and many beers remained. But the camaraderie between people brought together by one event within an event is the thing that continues to live on within my mind long after the last drop was imbibed. It is a very powerful thing, and it suggests that maybe we will be able to achieve libeerty in our lifetime.

On this episode of The Freecast CBD crackdown forces Fresh Vibes to leave the state, a coked-out Hassan aid doxxes republican senators, and the most honest critique of Tombstone while things get froggy.

But New Hampshire is Otherwise Very Cool! According to Wallet Hub survey (Nick)

“Could it be because it has the lowest percentage of people living beneath the poverty level? Or that it ranks third in safety?”

“We call it a ‘citizen legislature’ for that reason. That makes our state representatives more accessible and more responsive to the general public. A concerned citizen cannot only reach their representative easily and quickly, they can even run for office themselves and have a realistic chance to be elected.”

“While the records may be held by a third party, there’s nothing voluntary about the records’ creation. These records are created by healthcare professionals to comply with a state mandate. Patients do not volunteer to hand over this sensitive information. The only way to opt out is to never see a doctor.”
